House, Hinton, Whitchurch, Shropshire

The Fields Farm is an upstanding period house which has evolved over the centuries to offer extensive and balanced family accommodation superbly adapted for daily living. Dating as far back as 1680 in part with Georgian and Victorian additions, the property is available for the first time in over two decades having undergone an extensive scheme of renovation works including a sympathetic double storey extension to the Jacobean wing. There remains excellent scope for the incoming purchaser to further continue this exciting restoration.

There is a marvellous attention to detail throughout, blending striking original period detailing and modern finishes, resulting in a country home of elegance and poise. There are a number of original fireplaces, exposed timber beams and brickwork, ornate stained glass, deep sash windows and diamond leaded windows. The ground floor provides five primary reception rooms; drawing room, dining room, library, family room and a snug. Most notable is the impressive double-height drawing room with galleried landing above and a grand inglenook fireplace housing a woodburning stove. The sophisticated kitchen features a range of bespoke Tegla cabinetry with flamed granite worksurfaces, a central island and AGA. Beyond is a spacious dining room with staircase leading to a tanked cellar below. A boot room, utility room and WC complete the ground floor accommodation.

In the Victorian wing, stairs rise to the first floor where three double bedrooms are serviced by a family bathroom fitted with Fired Earth sanitaryware. An additional striking French stone staircase provides access to the principal bedroom with en suite bathroom fitted with Mandarin Stone tiles and an Albion bath. Completing the first floor is an additional en-suite double bedroom and a charming mezzanine overlooking the drawing room. To the second floor are four further versatile rooms.
